I’m not sure if this has been discussed before here, but I’m rewatching the show and I’m wondering why, instead of Bojack’s dad, does Secretariat show up? Was it because Bojack saw him as more a father figure/role model than his actual dad? Later in the episode they go out to have a cigarette and Bojack talks to him like he’s his actual dad…why? Thoughts???
Edit: Just watched him recite the poem. He even writes like Butterscotch did. Is this him desperately trying to save Bojack from dying?
yeah, bojack saw secretariat as a father figure and role model. the interaction with secretariat is what he wished he could have had with his own dad. the poem expresses secretariat’s regret and his attempt to save bojack.
